J.udgson Mill at Greenville Takes Action
Following Organization
of the Workers.
Greenville, Oct. 2.">.?The Judson
mill, one of largest of the fourteen in
this vicinity, will close down November
."th because of labor troubles, according
to a notice posted at the mill
today by B. E. C?eer, president and
treasurer. Delegates of the United
Textile Workers of America organized
a local union here some weeks ago,
and recently the management discovered
its presence. Seventeen employes
were summarily discharged, the manfl?pmpnt
said, because they neglected
their work in seeking new members
for the union during working hours.
Hhe men said they were discharged because
they joined the union.
Some eighty employes of the weave
room then walked out because the men
were not reinstated.
Three hundred employes refused to
go back to work today. The miil was
picketed, and still others were persuaded
not to return to work.

DIVIDED COTTON BUYING
IX SPARTANBURG COUNTY
Whether Price Is Depressed Thereby
Has Long Been Debated Qnestion
in This State.
Augusta Chronicle.
Spartanburg, Oct. 24.?iThe an
nouncement that the federal trade
commission has ordered an investigation
into the charges that there is a
combination of cotton buyers in North
and South Carolina and Georgia to depress
the price of cotton is of public
interest here in that such an investigation
may bring under consideration
cotton marketing conditions in this
section of the State which has long
been a subject of discussion.
While no cotton mill presidents hare
expressed their views concerning such
an inquiry, their position is well
known in this territory. That this
county, for instance, is divided among
mills V\ 1 Lll lespctL LU Wllicmtuvc \.<j
certain mills is, perhaps, a fact that is
generally understood. The mill men
take the position that the condition is
a natural one and that in buying at
the gins or mill stores, as they do, they
are really serving the farmer in that
his market is at his door and he does
not have to haul his cotton to market
renters. Whether the nrice of cotton is i
depressed on account of this condition
is a -question that lias long been a
source of argument in this county and
in other counties where there is a considerable
textile development.
The result of such an inquiry will be
interesting to this section of the State.

I am am so de-lighted to see the Ob

that ordinance, and the way we do
here, taat I had about concluded that
iiy little influence was gone. Maybe
now that the Observer has taken the
.lutter up editorially there will be
something doing. I remember'very distinctly
how rigidly the law was enforced
soon after that little child was
bitten by that rabid dog and died, and
iicw ioon tiie whole thing was forgot- J
ten, and the dogs continued to roam
wheresoever they pleased, and there
was no one to molest or make afraid.
Of course, if some other child should
suffer the same fate?God forbid that
it should?then there would ,be an
awakening and the poor dog would
.lave to obey the law. But it is just

poor negroes who are having a little

game of craps, whatever that is. And,

nessing that game some time or other,
i would just like to know what it is
ike. Of course the game of poker is
lie gentleman's game, and I must admit
that what little I have seen of it
:t has a fascination for me, but
1 never felt that I could indulge that
fancy, because I could not afford to
!ose. The fact is, you can't keep the
man from taking chances, whether
;t be on drawing a full house or four
acts or a straight or a royal straight

game, 'whether it be base 'ball or foot

we gamble on the price of
^ctton, whether it be in buying future
contracts or buying the real article <r
putting it in the warehouse and borroving
money on it and taking the
chance of the price going to i5 cents.
But all this has nothing to do with the
aog ordinance. It has never been re
pealed. If it has the ptVblic has never
been apprised of the fact. It is like
a good many other ordinances?they
become dead letters after a brief span.
So soon do we forget. And it is well
that we do. Keep up the good work,
Mr. Observer Man, and maybe something
will come before someone else

account of some sorry dog. I had a

low you can become attached to the
animal and how the dog can become
attached to the man. But these bull

get on the other side and give him a

I promised to say something more
about the opera house. There are

if the local man of The Herald and
News is correct about how our people
love to go to fires, what do you reckon
would happen if the alarm of fire
should be sounded some time when the
opera house was filled. There would
surely be a stampede and it woud be
worse than a rabid dog or a circus.
There is no way to empty the housf.
except through one door, and it taKes
some fifteen minutes at the best, and
it seems to me sometimes that it takes
longer than that. There should be
some arrangements made to let the
crowds out quicker. And then, those
opera chairs. Why they need new ones.
Besides, I notice that every now and
then one breaks down and down to
the floor goes the occupant. Suppose

some one snouia De nun uj uie ian.
Who would 'pay the damage. And then
they are uncomfortable. I got so tired
on the one I occupied the other night
that I almost wished it would go down
and then there would have 'been a
change of the monotony of sitting on
it. "Why not put in new ones? And
fix the thing up generally. If the town
would be liable to a damage suit if a
rabid dcg bit you, why not if you
should get hurt by the breaking of an
opera chair. But I reckon it's all
right or it wouldn't be. You know, I
believe that whatever is, is best, or it
wouldn't be. I am obliged to believe
that so long as I believe there is an
overruling and an all wise Providence
who is merciful and good and who even
numbers the hairs of your head and
takes note of the sparrow and none
falls to the ground without Kis notice.
His plans are perfect and he takes
thought of every act and every deed
of His creatures and He works out the
great eternal plan for the good of His
creatures. Does He not efcl? somewhere
that He takes no pleasure in the death
of the wicked, and are we not told
mat ne is omniscient ana omnipresent,
and that means that He knew
from the beginning what was to take
place, and -that it has all been ordered
by His all powerful hand.
?o?
And that reminds me of a sweet little
poem by Ella Whheler Wilcox
which expresses the thought beautiful
iy. i am going to quote u. sometimes
the finite mind can not see the
good in many things that happen, but
it is all for some good purpose or it
wouldn't be. We can not understandwhy
some persons die, as it seems to
us in the very heyday of their usefulness,
and others are left here who
seem to have no purpose, and so far
&s the finite mind can see are doing *
no good in the world. If I did not
believe that "each sorrow has a pur
pose" there are some that have come
into my own life that would have
broken me down long ago. I have not
been able to see the purpose of them,
but there must be somewhere in the
divine plan some purpose for them.
But this has nothing to do with the
dog ordinance or witn the repairs that
are needed at the o<pera house. It is
our part to do our duty as it is presented
and,the duty of the city council
is to enforce the dog ordinance or
repeal it and to have some needed re
pairs made at tne opera nouse. tier?
is the poem:

I am going to close this article with
an Arab saying and I want you to
think about the three things there set
forth. The arrow comes not back.
TVio enrvkpTi word never dies. The lost
opportunity is gone forever. Forget
not these three things. iThe dog ordinance
was too late for the poor child
whose young life was snapped out.
The enforcement of it after some other
life has been snapped out will be too
late to recall that life.
An Arab Saying.
Remember three things come not back:
The arrow sent upon its track?
It will not swerve, it will not stay
Tts speed; it flies to wound or slay.
The spoken word, so soon forgot
By thee, yet it has perished not;
In other hearts 'tis living still,
And doing work for good or ill.
And the lost opportunity,
That cometh back no more to thee;
In vain thou weepest, in vain doai
yearn,
These three will never more return.
